ablaze

By Vic Lejon

"some things will continue to burn long after you've killed the fire..."

vic lejon's third poetry collection ablaze takes a deep dive into our modern lives amid a pandemic, the increasingly invasive presence of social media and technology, as well as the author's personal experiences with trauma and grief.

it is a poetic journey set in a world full of little fires.

using references to pop culture, mythology and space, the poet creates a vivid and fiercely-worded universe in which readers are left reflecting upon their own life choices and the state of our world.

"but, darling, i'm a writer, i don't need to speak to scream."

from raw, heart-breaking confessions to sharp-tongued, satirical poems about societal issues, vic lejon leaves no stone unturned as she explores matters such as depression, loneliness, womanhood, the consequences of our fast-moving world on our mental and physical well-being and the ever-growing concerns for our home planet.

"earth wrapped her arms around me when all i wanted to do was fall."

vic lejon is a German-Swedish writer who resides in Northern Germany. she also authored our place on earth (2020)and towards the open sea (2021). she shares excerpts of her short and long-form poetry on Instagram, Tiktok and Pinterest.
